Concept of ATFM and FUA Timeline of Implementation Why is FUA required ATFM and FUA About ATFM in India CDM Partners involved in processes Benefits of FUA ATFM and FUA- Practical Process

Fundamental principle of FUA

The airspace should not be designated as either pure civil

• r military airspace, but rather be considered as a

continuum in which all user requirements have to be accommodated to the extent possible.

AIRSPACE RESOURCES BECOME AVAILABLE ON NEED BASIS TO THE STAKEHOLDERS

PROCESS of ATFM

• ATFM is a

collaborative process involving many stakeholders with diverse goals.

• CDM enables the

stakeholders to share the resources

• ptimally.

Concept and FUA Timeline

The Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) Concept has been developed at the three Levels of Airspace Management that correspond to Civil/Military co-ordination task. STRATEGIC COMPONENT ( ASM Level 1 ) Long term planning – large scale military exercises, significant changes to airspace and route structure and special events. This includes but is not limited to Airshows, Large Scale Events, Trade Fairs, etc. PRE-TACTICAL COMPONENT ( ASM Level 2) Airspace users engaged in normal operations e.g.: Aerial Surveys, Para Drop, Fly Past ; Activation of SUAs TACTICAL COMPONENT ( ASM Level 3) Day to day flight operation.

Why is FUA required?

To ensure all stakeholders affected have full understanding of

• perations and requirements. ATC-Military.

To ensure airspace users have sufficient notice of operations via NOTAMs / Supplements. Air traffic planning, efficient flow of air traffic. Equal airspace usage.

ATFM AND FUA

• Network Wide View Shared

between Civil and Military

• Focus areas of cooperation

– Inclusion of future civil/military airspace requirements – Enhanced cooperation in crisis and contingency situations – ASM system support and data management – ASM Post Ops and Performance Monitoring

• Both ASM and FUA will focus on :
• Enhanced airspace utilisation by civil and

military

• Airspace Configurations
• ASM solutions
• Procedures
• Enhanced cooperation at pre-tactical and

tactical level

• Getting closer together planning and
• perations
• Integrating ASM/ATFCM
• Flexible Route deployment in the Upper

• Objective is to manage and optimize

traffic flows by actively collaborating with airlines, airport, defense and other stakeholders on daily basis.

• The Central Command Center ( CCC)

will receive strategic and tactical FPL , Weather, Airspace ,Traffic, Airport information for accurate Situational Awareness

• Flow Management Position(FMP) will

be the unit implementing ATFM program

FUA Elements

• Temporary reserved area (TRA) :An airspace temporarily reserved and

allocated for the specific use of a particular user during a determined period of time and through which other traffic may be allowed to transit ATC Clearance.

• Temporary segregated area (TSA) :An airspace temporarily segregated and

allocated for the exclusive use of a particular user during a determined period of time and through which other traffic will not be allowed to transit.

• Conditional Routes: A conditional route is a non-permanent ATS route or

portion thereof which can be planned and used under specified conditions

ATFM & FUA How does it work in practice?

STRATEGIC PHASE

ASM Level 1

• Formulate the national policy for airspace

management,

• Periodically assess the national airspace

structure and ATS route network for flexible airspace structures and procedures in the upper and lower airspace

• Formulate and periodically review the

procedures and efficiency of ASM Level 2 and Level 3 operations

• Ensure a framework for effective co-
• rdination between both civil and military

ATS, ASM and ATFM at the three ASM Levels .

• Approve the airspace change process from

Civil/Military for ensuring optimum utilization

• f Airspace.

Strategic Phase of ATFM

• A Phase for gathering and analysing Capacity and Demand

data: – Flight Schedule Data: – Assess, review and publish:

• Airport capacity
• Airspace capacity

– Major events: Sports events, Elections, Trade Fairs ……. – Weather: long term prediction

• The Strategic Network Plan may recommend (for DCB)

– in the modification of the organization of airspace, – Special Use Airspaces activation / deactivation – Airline schedule updates, – Alternate/mandatory route activation and ; – reporting of possible measures to contain demand as well as the estimated time delay expected in each departure;

PRE-TACTICAL PHASE

ASM LEVEL 2

• Consists of the day-to-day

management and temporary allocation

• f airspace
• AMC at National level, integrated with

C-ATFM Central Command Centre

• AMCs at regional level in four Upper

Area Control Centers at Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai.

• AMCs shall strictly adhere to the

policies formulated by the HLAPB

PRE TACTICAL PHASE of ATFM

• CCC at the national level manages the

airspace resource since civil military co‐ordination is necessary and since arbitrations can also be necessary between different civil requests.

• FMPs at the ACC level along with the AMCs

manage other resources such as actual rostering, sector configuration etc. – FPL – Events – Conditional routes – Rerouting – scenarios if necessary

TACTICAL PHASE

ASM LEVEL 3

• To activate, deactivate or reallocate in real time

the airspace allocated at level 2.

• Real time ASM level 3 coordination is an essential

element to achieve the goals of FUA .

• Quick and efficient coordination and data sharing

preferably achieved through integration of both Civil and Military ATS Automation systems

• The ASM Level 3 activities maximize the potential

for traffic re-routing in real time to use those CDRs that are made available at short notice.

TACTICAL PHASE of ATFM

• CCC monitors DCB at all nodes and initiates action

when necessary.

• The resources are mainly managed at the ACC /

Airport level since the real time workload on the ATC sectors is an essential element. – FPL – Aircraft Operators (AO) messages (CHG, DLA, FCM, SWM) – ATC messages (REA, AFP) – Capacity changes – Regulations slots – Re‐Routeing Proposals (RRP) – CDR-3

A PRACTICAL CASE

SCENARIO

• Air Exercise Planned by IAF
• Airspace Reservation Requisition

sent to AAI

• AAI analysis of Air Traffic impact (

based on report from ATFM system)

• AAI and IAF mutually agree on the

proposal.

• AAI initiates necessary

notifications. Action By ATFM

• Area of Exercise created in ATFM

system

• Air Traffic Impact on activation is

analyzed.

• Suggest any modification/realignment
• f Area of Exercise, if necessary.
• On finalization , CCC initiates a CDM

exercise and initiates necessary ATFM measures ( ground delay, reroutes )

• The concerned FMP executes the

plan.
